Should it therefore be any surprise that New Orleans, with its strong German influence, has a thriving hamburger culture?
where might one find this strong German culinary influence? Jagerhaus? they don't know how to properly execute German cuisine.
the closest thing I've had to good German food in Louisiana (and yes, I've traveled to Germany and sampled their local fare) is at Taste of Bavaria in Ponchatoula. it's fantastic.

TulaneLSU you are clearly casting your pearls of wisdom before culinary swine here on TD.com. You deserve a bigger, more appreciative, stage. I want to know when you are going to start your own radio show and newsletter to give some real competition to TF.

I cannot say this without a stronger emphasis: home-cooked burgers are better than the best of the best restaurant burgers.
making a great burger is 80 percent ingredients and 20 percent technique. doesn't matter the venue.. use great ingredients and cook the meat properly and you get a great hamburger. to say that any home-cooked burger beats any restaurant burger is posturing, narrow-minded and flat out wrong.
and yes.. price is irrelevant when arguing that particular point.

he already splits his time between posting here and harassing local food writers and critics under pseudonyms and other monikers. and that's on top of seeing every single film that comes out and eating at every restaurant in the NOLA metro area multiple times. don't spread the guy too thin Cous Cous.

How do you think we got places with names like "Des Allemands" and the "German Coast." Just because there's no lederhosen-and-stein culture in New Orleans doesn't mean there's no German influences. There were a ton of German immigrants into this city during the 19th century.

Pretty decent list. I would have Hi-Hat on there.
Damn, how could I forget Hi Hat?
Hi Hat, Mondo, Bouiligny and Luke should all be on the list.

if he could say some of the things that he types with a straight face, then he would probably be on to something. that would be tough though

Yeah, unless you grind your own meat, its hard to be a top ten burger..

I was speaking in regards to German cuisine.

Roberts Cove is pretty much 100% german in West Louisiana.

There are, no doubt, long standing German influences in Louisiana. I think it's a mighty big stretch to say they have anything to do with hamburgers being popular in Louisiana - at least any more so than them being popular anywhere else.

Gotta try the one at the Bombay Club.

Hi Hat is good, but the Farmhouse at Gordon Biersch was better - sincerely. You guys need to try it before you dismiss it so easily as simply a chain burger.

Sorry, but any Top 10 Nola burgers that doesn't mention Port Of Call is crap.
Port Of Call, along with Mothers, are two very fine places that New Orleans natives love to hate, presumably because "the tourists" have found out about them.
It might not be the best in the city, but to say it's not Top 10 is stupid IMO. At any rate, it's way better than Houston's.

FWIW he did give two locations of Port of Call that serves the same burger. For me though PoC gets a char on their burger that I dont get at Lakeview that I prefer.. But then again I get real bacon at Lakeview. So I consider it a tie.
